Ch.91 Rudolf is coming!
Back at the beginning of the battle, when Rudolf and Jeremiah started their assault on Quinus and Zellin's army.
Rudolf got on his war horse.
"Jeremiah! Dietrich! Lead the n and kill the prince! I'll deal with the mages!" Rudolf orders.
"Yes, commander!" The two rcenaries answered.
With that Rudolf turns to his calvary n.
"Igner! John! Raise the flag for the cavalry! We ride to take down their mages! With them gone their numbers an nothing!"
"Understood!" Igner and John said as they both grabbed spears from their mounts.
"Charge!" Rudolf yelled as he spurred his horse forward and rode into the enemy lines.
***
anwhile, on the back line of the Ironside army, Hajdah and his mages were giving cover for their troops from incoming arrows.
"Hajdah! Look! The Black Rose calvary is coming!" Zellin yells as he points to the west.
"I see them! Let's end this before they reach us and give the prince our aid! Mages focus on the lead horse!" Hajdah says as he pulls out his wand and casts the spell 'Fire Arrow'.
Akashia used her wind magic to push the Fire Arrow faster and fed it more energy. It flew through the air and made contact with the lead horse.
***
The Mage-Arrow flies towards the Calvary. Rudolf used his shield that created a magical barrier around himself to deflect the mage's arrows.
"Get behind ! I'll keep those pesky magic off us!" Rudolf calls to the n behind him.
*BOOM!*
A large explosion goes off in front of Rudolf. He shields his face from the blast and looks up at what caused it.
It was one of the magic arrows that a mage cast. It was stopped by Rodulf's barrier but its impact still knocked so of his n off their horses from the shock wave.
"You're going to pay for that!" Rudolf yells as he aims for the front line of the dwarven soldiers.
"Stop! Our enemies are close to use our magic! We'll hit our troops!" Captain Reeve yells to Hajdah.
"Brace your impact!" Hajdah warns the n beside him.
Rudolf and his 50 cavalryn were baring down on the dwarven infantry.
"Alright n! Aim for the chest!" Rudolf yells as he rides closer to the enemy.
Right before the spears of the dwarven infantry, Rudolf used his special barrier that emitted from his shield causing the spears to bounce back.
*SMASH! THUD! POW!*
The sound of steel colliding with steel echoed throughout the battlefield as the cavalry plows through the infantry.
"This is why you should fear the Black Roses!" Rudolf yells as he uses his shield to block the next barrage of arrows that cos towards him. He then uses his sword to cut down the dwarf soldier that was trying to get past his barrier.
"PIKEN! FLANK THEM! WE CAN'T HAVE THEM BREAKTHROUGH!" Captain Reeve yells to the n behind him.
"Captain Reeve! I have three mages with ! We can stop him!" Hajdah shouts.
"Don't be stupid! You can't handle Rudolf when he has that shield! Focus on their infantry, Hajdah!" Reeve yells back.
Hajdah nods and orders his n to focus on the infantry.
"Let handle this!" Suhail yelled as he pulled out his wand and cast 'Lightning Bolt'.
"BOOOOMMMM!" A thunderous boom went off in the distance striking so of the Black Roses infantryn coming in.
Rudolf saw his n get struck by lightning and their bodies burned instantly.
"Fucking Mages! KEEP PUSHING THROUGH!" Rudolf screams out as he continued to ride forward cleaving Ironside soldiers.
Suhail felt exhausted after casting one spell.
"Suhail! Fall back and recover! I need you ready to cast another spell if needed!" Hajdah ordered.
"Yes sir!" Suhail says as he falls back and recovers.
"Dreshan! Get ready to use your earth wall if the cavalry breaks through our ranks." Hajdah orders.
"Don't have to tell twice!" Dreshan replies.

"I'm gonna focus on taking these bastards down," Rudolf says as he continues to ride his horse through the dwarves.
"STOP HIM! GET OFF OF YOUR FUCKIN' ASSES AND FIGHT BACK!" Captain Reeve yells as he cos up to Rudolf.
"You don't want to fight? I thought you were all a bunch of tough warriors," Rudolf laughs.
"We are a group of brave n and won of Ironside. We aren't cowards like you rc!" Captain Reeve yells as he raised his sword.
"Hahaha! Coward am I? I guess that's why I've lived for so long!" Rudolf says as he points his sword toward Reeve.
"You think I'll go done easily!" Reeve yells.
"Yes! Because you're a man of honor! And n of honor die so easily compared to cowards. And I'll show you what it ans to fight a coward!" Rudolf laughs as he swings his sword at Reeve.
Reeve ducked and rolled out of the way.
"HEYA!" Rudolf yells to get his horse to chase down Reeve.
*GALLUP! GALLUP! CLANG!*
But before Reeve could react he was hit by a massive blow to the side from Rudolf's shield knocking him off of his feet.
Rudolf's horse then reared on its legs and tried to trample Reeve.
Captain Reeve rolls over onto his feet and swung his sword at Rudolf's horse.
*NEEEYA!* The horse bucked and dodged the attack.
"Damned horse! I'm going to take you down!" Reeve yells as he drew his sword again.
"Damn right, you will!" Rudolf says as he swings his sword back.
Both swords clashed and sparks flew between them as Rudolf had the high ground, sitting on his horse.
"Damn, I need to use my sword masters technique!" Reeve curses as he swung his sword around.
"Hehe! You're doing great!" Rudolf laughs as he swings his sword at Reeve.
Reeve blocked the attack with his own sword and then quickly summoned mana into his sword. It glowed red and surrounded his blade as he counter-attacked and struck the horse's neck in a blink of an eye.
His horse went down with its head cut clean off.
"Son of a~" Rudolf quickly jumped off his horse before he could have been trapped underneath it.
*Step! STEP! SWING! CLANG!*
"That was close!" Rudolf laughs as he blocks Reeve's sword attacks.
"You better watch yourself! You might be stronger than , but I'm faster!" Reeve growls as he swings his sword at Rudolf.
"Tch! You owe a new horse! Or maybe I should destroy sothing important to you!" Rudolf says as he swings his sword at Reeve.
"In your dreams!" Reeve says as he swung his sword back.
*CLANG! CLANG!!*
Reeve was moving with grace as he pressed the attack. 'This is it I don't have enough mana to pull this off again!' Reeve thinks to himself as he pushes harder as his sword beings to glow again.
*GRUNTS! GROOOAAARRRSSS!!!* Both swords clash and sparks fly between them as they both pushed each other.
Reeve felt like he was going to pass out, but he kept swinging his sword.
"I... I can't hold this much longer..." Reeve gasped as he fought against the weakness within him.
Rudolf smirks as he sees Reeve's sword coming in.
*CLING! CRACK! BOOM!*
Rudolf cast his magic barrier catching Reeve's sword in the middle of it causing the sword to shatter into a thousand pieces.
"NO!" Reeve screams as the magic hits him and knocks him from his feet.
"It's only fair after killing my horse!" Rudolf growls as he rushes over to Reeve and slashes his sword through his arm.
"AARRRRR!" Reeve yells in pain as blood dripped down his arm.
"What? That's it?" Rudolf asks as he stabs his sword into Reeve's shoulder. "That's all you got?! I thought you were supposed to be strong?!" Rudolf growls as he pulls his sword out.
Reeve falls after the pain gets to him.
"Hah! What good is a swordsman without his arm? Now ti to deal with so mages." Rudolf laughs as he walks away from the defeated Reeve.
*Cough!*
"I failed you Baron Coldforge. Gah! I'm sorry!" Reeve cries as he laid on the ground.
